Not trying to be a pest...but at closer look the add is not between the categories...it is at the end of the first category in like a grey box...is the a way to actually have it between the categories so the top and bottom categories look like they are in their own tables and the ad is in between with just the page background behind it?

Is there a theme I should use that this works with? I thought the Core theme was a standard theme...which is why I was using it. Because it was a simple and clean look. Not using any other mods than the SMF Ads. Any thoughts?

I am not that great at PHP and customizing the forum board page template...but if the SMF Ads Mod won't place the ad between the category, is there a way to insert the link in the board page (ie http://domain.com/banners) so that is appears between the categories? Sorry new to the whole forum thing.
